San Francisco, you should not be surprised to learn, hosts a vibrant scene of up-and-coming murder mystery designers. Join us for a dinner & discussion with three of the entrepreneurs contributing to a renaissance in the art of the murder mystery. Each creator will share a 10 minute presentation on their approach to their work, over hors d'oeuvres....

10 minutes of listening well spent. The Medici effect -- aka cross-pollinating ideas between seemingly unrelated disciplines -- is at the center of good adventure design. And, really, adventure design itself, is blending of game design, theater, story telling, psychology, event planning, and technology -- just to name a few.

A pioneer in research on play, Dr. Stuart Brown says humor, games, roughhousing, flirtation and fantasy are more than just fun. Plenty of play in childhood makes for happy, smart adults -- and keeping it up can make us smarter at any age.

Erik Koland's insight:

An older TED Talk, but very relevant to adventure design. Play is powerful force in happiness and creativity. It allows us to step out of familiar roles and social confines. I can be easy to forget this amidst a deluge of to-dos and responsibilities.

"Whimsy and play is so important to making a community vibrant. It's so important to inspiring a community and making people understand the potential of what they can do with their time and resources." - Christina Xu
